Okay so Riot.. is this true? I need to know.

I am no homophobe but I am agressively pissed that you guys rework every single champion that I love. AKA Galio, and Talon...

They're also notorious for nerfing into the ground, then adjusting a character and calling it acceptable " AKA Kassadin's nerfed 7 times in a row rift walk now capped at 5 rift stacks AKA death of rift walk kassadin, No presence of mind does not make up for it.

Let me take this minute to mention how horridly nerfed talon is because he no longer teleports behind enemys yet is bound into jumping with his Q??? and his E jumping walls is this only gimick which is super glitchy and bugged and just terrible. No one wanted this, No one wanted the galio rework. I liked vaporizing whole teams. Galio was my only hope after you destroyed kassadin.

lets not mention Yorick changes, and the fact they nerfed the jungle so yorick can no longer jungle as red and blue no longer have side creeps !

Yet Riot has the nerve to say " we're going to stick to what players think is fun and Buff Rengar's R and keep it the same way " after undoing a rework !??!

Also Riot reverted the amazing 5.0 atk speed kog maw One of the only fun reworks ive expereinced.

Riot why do you ruin everything I love? Let me rephrase,

Riot WHY DO YOU REWORK EVERYTHING I LOVE. Yet let broke crap stay.

Seriously riot, give it to me Straight, is Varus Gay I need to know from the design staff who decided this. Youve ruined everything.. Now youve separated a good man from his wife and child. What are you doing home wrecking ?

p,s, the answer to this may make me quit this game once and for all for the fact that you REWORK everything I love...

I mean, Varus himself isn't gay 'cause Varus is the darkin soul thing (don't remember what it's called) The 2 other souls in Varus are gay

So technically Varus isn't gay, only the 2 other people inside him (Tbh i love the new Varus lore)

Hello, this is the Story, Sound and Art board, not the gameplay boards... so, dont talk about gameplay here. 90% of your post cries about gameplay changes.

Varus, now the name belonging to a Darkin, is not gay himself nor is there any indication of his sexuality, though his soul is sharing his body with and made out of 2 gay people.

So yeah.

Because Riot is a company that depends on profits.

Varus being gay = more profit, articles written about it, twitter SJWs praising Riot (but not actually playing their game because SJWs don't play games)

It's just Riot's attempt to cash in the recent SJW "equality" craze.

They know normal people won't care enough to quit their game, so they are just raking in the brownie points.

Same reason Blizzard did with Overwatch when they made their character suddenly gay etc.

kai is dead ,the darkin took the body of val that was still living and keeps the other soul alive trough this possesion ,though trough their love they sometimes can stop the darkin from doing something...it actualy serves varus as val and kai seem to be having their little affair in a private corner mostly looking the other way while varus does his stuff. Val has to be aware that without the darkin to keeps kai alive he would lose this symbiosis relationship with the one he love so much he couldnt let go in death, if he truly resisted the darkin val would lose kai, so even though they dissagree with varus they dont really want to let go of him either...

Its a lot more about accepting reality, getting over it, and the mourning process to me , reducing it to :2 gay boys in a darkin body is rather simple and easy, look further..... : in order to control varus val would probably have to let go of kai accept his death and move on ,in order to have the concentration and willpower to overcome a darkin,(like kayn is Tryin to Do) seems like untill then varus knows he is rather safe in this body

yes this is a kinda strange treesome..homosexual symbiosis,wether you like it or not is up to you but can<t complain about it being unoriginal

The gist of your post is more or less accurate: Riot has written a completely new character, deleted Varus, and then named this new character Varus to maximize the insult to their fans. Riot doesn't care about their past work or their current fans, this is just how League of Legends works.
